Odaily Planet Daily reported that crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett wrote, "There are rumors that after the permanent chairman is confirmed, Acting Chair of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Caroline D. Pham will join the cryptocurrency payment platform MoonPay. MoonPay declined to comment.

A CFTC spokesperson did not deny the rumors, telling me: "As she stated in May, Acting Chairwoman Pham will return to the private sector once a new Chairwoman is confirmed. In the interim, she remains committed to faithfully executing the President's agenda and delivering on his promises to win in the crypto space."
